Its part of a promotion to get people excited for the PC MasterCard as well as their very own no fee checking and savings accounts. And what says credit cards and fee-less banking than a zip line? So keep the hollers and screams PG and the exposure to a minimum. Yes you read that right, just another way PC is saying thank you to its loyal customers.
It looks like PC will definitely be getting some new customers this year. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.

The first step, as they say, is a doozy, and if you watch the video of my descent down the CNE zip line you'll notice that I try not to think about it too much. One step, two steps, sit down, go. After that, you're at the mercy of the bargain, and it's best to just enjoy the scenery. The worst part of the experience - after the walk up - was the waiting, which for some reason took minutes after my GoPro had been switched on. I'm assuming that there had been some pee and poo happening with the zip line rider in front of me, so I had a lot of time to look around and try to sound nonchalant.
Listening to my voice, I'm not sure I was entirely successful. Fast forward to on the video to skip past the agony of waiting. No matter how long it is, a zip line ride is always too short. Once you've gotten over the urge to let go with a shout in defiance of nature and gravity - a waste of time, as far as I'm concerned - there's only seconds left to savour the chance to soar somewhat heavily above the ground, accompanied only by your own breathing and the whine of the trolley on the cable over your head.
If you have more money than sense, I'd recommend doing the zip line twice - the first time to conquer your fear, the second to take it all in calmly.
It all ends with a rude bump as the trolley hits the arrester at the end and you're pulled into the short tower by the southwest corner of the Direct Energy building. The bad part is that it's over. The good part is that you're just by a beer garden when you exit, so you can get something to calm your nerves and lubricate a little bit of bragging. Join the conversation Load comments. A major winter storm is expected to blanket Toronto with snow next week.
Toronto's stunning new heart-shaped park is quickly becoming a reality. These are the the best places to work in Toronto and Canada this year. Toronto has an unofficial spider and it looks downright terrifying. Ontario's most popular baby names for were exceedingly basic. Anti-vax parents protested at Ontario education minister's home but nobody knows why.
